Fit Fridays: Salmon Teriyaki

Hooray it’s Friday! A snow day here in Scituate! I have a super yummy recipe for you today. Salmon Teriyaki! We had this for dinner last night during the storm and it was so quick and easy to pull together.

We eat a lot of salmon in our house and it is a wonderful filling fish packed with omega 3. I make my own home-made teriyaki sauce which is lower in sodium than the store bought kind. Here’s what you need:

Salmon Teriyaki

– Salmon Fillets

– 2 tablespoons Mirin (sweetened sake)

– 2 tablespoons Low Sodium Soy Sauce

– 1 tablespoon sugar

– sesame oil

– black sesame seeds (optional)

For the sauce, heat the mirin, low sodium soy sauce and sugar in a small sauce pan over low to medium heat. Continue stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Heat a small amount of sesame oil in a pan and place fillets in. While cooking salmon brush on the glaze. Cook for approximately 5 minutes or until cooked on each side.

Top with sesame seeds and serve with brown rice and steamed pea pods.

I like to drizzle a little low sodium soy sauce over the brown rice and pea pods and sprinkle more sesame seeds.

This is a HUGE hit in my house. All of my boys LOVE this one. I also have a little girl who loves it too:

Poppy – the fish lover!

She ate a lot of salmon and brown rice last night. I mean how could I resist that face and those pleeding eyes?

Our fitness challenge is ending next Friday so I’m thinking of ending my Fit Fridays. Do you like reading it? Would you like me to continue this series? If so, let me know.

Don’t forget Silver Pennies Sundays is this Sunday!
